hey guys what is up it's Duncan and today we're going to go over one of the most exciting things to come out of Apple since the iPhone the Apple tablet there's a huge amount of information about it so let's go ahead and get this one started the first piece of evidence is the date January 26th Financial Times has uncovered that Apple has rented out the same center that they usually use for events including the last one in September that announced the new iPod Nano this looks perfect for a tablet announcement as well as for the announcement that the MacBook Pro is getting the Core i5 and i7 processors the next evidence is about the name of the tablet isolate the past few days has contained a huge amount of evidence that Apple has been working on the name they owned the isolate com domain among many others and they have trademarked the isolate name under a shell company while this doesn't mean that it will be called the isolate for certain it certainly sounds very catchy and it's the most likely bet considering the few if any of the other names make sense now let's take a look at exactly what the tablet is going to be all about first of all I guess that the tablet uses a smallish solid-state tribe perhaps a 64 gigabyte one the processor could be one of two things either an Intel Atom or a custom chip an atom makes sense given that it already is in use in other tablets such as the jew-jew and that OS 10 should that be the operating system the tablet uses supports the atom however the atom is underpowered especially for a tablet that could be quite expensive my bet would be on a custom chip entirely tailor-made to the isolate a short time ago Apple bought chip maker PA semi who would certainly be able to create a processor for the this would also fit in nicely with apples like of controlling the entire package from operating system to all the aspects of the hardware it can the operating system is a really hard detail to pen down most of the evidence points towards this isolate blending a custom version of the iPhone OS which of course is a version of OS 10 supposedly app developers have been told to make sure that their apps aren't entirely dependent on the screen size of the iPhone & iPod Touch which could mean that either the isolate runs a modified version of iPhone OS or that it contains an iPhone OS emulator personally I think the idea that it runs full OS 10 that has been modified to work on a tablet makes more sense but there's no telling what we'll see price has been a huge question mark of the entire deal nearly everyone agrees that it will be between the most expensive iPhone $300 and the cheapest macbook $1,000 if you take a look at the only other tablet in the space the juju and its price of $500 then you'll see that the Apple tablet will almost certainly be quite a bit more expensive than that I won't get into any of the complicated and most likely wrong guesswork for now except to say that the 700 to 800 dollar price point seems the most likely there are a lot of other rumors about the specific features in the tablet one in particular about a patent Apple applied for a while ago about a multi-touch tactile keyboard that would allow the screen to actually physically rise and lower at different times this would be perfect for a keyboard because it would allow the screen to be flat usually but it could morph into a keyboard when you needed it very cool tech that would if really possible certainly go a long ways in making the tablet easy to type on so that's about it there's a lot of rumors and speculation about the tablet right now and they really are reaching fever pitch if everything goes according to plan then likely we will the tablet make its debut next month with it being released for sale a few months after that so what do you guys think are you excited about the idea of an Apple tablet or do you think it's just going to be too expensive please leave your thoughts in the comments because I would love to hear what you think anyway thanks for watching
